"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has ansible-core packages installed that are affected by
multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A flaw was found in Ansible. The ansible-core `user` module can allow an unprivileged user to silently
    create or replace the contents of any file on any system path and take ownership of it when a privileged
    user executes the `user` module against the unprivileged user's home directory. If the unprivileged user
    has traversal permissions on the directory containing the exploited target file, they retain full control
    over the contents of the file as its owner. (CVE-2024-9902)

  - A flaw was found in Ansible-Core. This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass unsafe content protections
    using the hostvars object to reference and execute templated content. This issue can lead to arbitrary
    code execution if remote data or module outputs are improperly templated within playbooks.
    (CVE-2024-11079)

  - A flaw was found in Ansible, where sensitive information stored in Ansible Vault files can be exposed in
    plaintext during the execution of a playbook. This occurs when using tasks such as include_vars to load
    vaulted variables without setting the no_log: true parameter, resulting in sensitive data being printed in
    the playbook output or logs. This can lead to the unintentional disclosure of secrets like passwords or
    API keys, compromising security and potentially allowing unauthorized access or actions. (CVE-2024-8775)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
